Riyo stops on the way there for some peppermint tea for them, feeling the need to do so as his hands went a little numb on the way there. He'd probably buy on the way back too. It takes 45 minutes to get to that shop which would normally take 23 minutes when there was no snow or cold air.

On the way, Vivi does actually attempt to somehow magically get into Riyo's hoodie. Not his pants. Just his hoodie. It's warm in there. And as a living being, Vivi likes warmth. He just sniffs the tea, his ears twitching a bit. "Peppermint?" Vivi lived in a little cage where peppermint flavored anything really didn't exist.

"mhm. It's good and soothing too. It's also good when you feel sick or have a headache." Riyo said honestly. "Right now it'll be useful in keeping us warm, so you don't have to try to get in my clothes." He chuckled as he blew on his tea through the little sip hole in the cover. "I'd give it a while to cool off though. A burnt tongue is not fun."

"Hey! It's not my fault that you're warm. And I like warm." Vivi just states the obvious. "And inside your clothes is warm." Though he's not thinking about how perverted this could be. Get in his pants and all. Vivi kind of ignores that last part a takes a small sip. It doesn't burn him because...such a small sip won't do anything. He tilts his head a bit with his ears twitching a bit. He doesn't know if he likes that taste or not.

Riyo chuckles and sips on his for the next block and a half it takes to get there. He only takes 20 minutes total, buying a set of 10 oils. One of which comes with a free sample of baby oil. He gets Vivi two bubble baths he likes the smell of. "see it's not too bad. you like the tea? some drink it with honey. I didn't know if you'd want that so I only got it in mine."

Vivi just looks up at Riyo, making a questioning noise at the chuckles. "What's funny?" He doesn't get it. He of course has to be nosey and look at all the oils. He'll smell them some other time...he just hopes they aren't strong smelling like some things humans use/wear. The smell was too much sometimes. Vivi ends up picking bubble baths that smell like food...like cupcakes and stuff. "Yeah it's good." Vivi likes sweet things, but honey...doesn't always make things taste better. "Now what're we going to do?" Home?

"hmm we're going over to visit the group and exchange gifts. basically we're done besides the gifts we get." Riyo says as he offers Vivi to try his with 2 teaspoons of honey in it. It's sweet but not overpowering. "then home and maybe some sampling and testing some of these." He smirks his perverted smirk.

"Okay then..." Vivi doesn't expect gifts, but he always did like seeing their caretakers exchange gifts...seeing them happy. He just tries Riyo's tea before handing it back. "Yours is good...but I like mine more." He sticks his tongue out at him a bit...before he starts blushing a bit at the last part-he recognizes that smirk. He knows what that means by now.

Riyo chuckles and nuzzles Vivi on the way back. "I like it sweeter...oh well. I did say I'd owe you a better massage too. Well I have what's needed now." He teased as they got to the dorms 10 minutes later. "how about we demand they make us something hot to drink?" He chuckled as he entered the groups' hangout. Shortly after Riyo ends up with a pen set and Vivi has a few stuffed animals, mainly cats. The group figured it'd be funny and cute.

Vivi blushes more as he hears that teasing up in there...which the blush doesn't go fully away for awhile. Vivi, once he gets the stuffed animals, kind of wraps himself around them...somehow. Don't even ask. He's purring softly. He likes the plushies...and he should because it would be bad if you didn't like what's a part of you.

Riyo chuckles and sneaks Vivi off to the girl's room as it is partly her dorm. Somehow she ended up sharing with one of the guys but had to clarify with the keep that it was fine because nothing would ever go on. Yep it was one of the used-to-be-closet gay friends. Her bed and side of the room was covered from head to toe in Hello Kitty merchandise. He wanted to show Vivi just to get a kick out of it.

Vivi just makes one of his weird noises as he stares at all the kitties. So many kitties. So many kitties. He has to touch it. HE HAS TO! Of course he puts the things back. He isn't rude to just move them and stuff. But he also can't stop himself from touching it. He's kind of amazed by all the kitty things.

Riyo chuckles as he expected this from Vivi. The girl comes and watches with amazement as well. She was a definite collector. He waited til it was out of Vivi's system before getting everyone some hot chocolate since it was still a cold day. He was also talking with the other two about how far they've all gotten. So far Riyo and Vivi take the Gold. The other two still haven't even touched each other so he gave a few good techniques to one in his ear before they left. "see that wasn't bad."

Vivi doesn't care if it's weird or strange or anything. He likes the kitties and there are SO MANY OF THEM! So many little kitties. He's almost sad to have to go away from them. Vivi's ears flatten back as he realizes what they're talking about....he doesn't like the idea of people talking about their/his/their sex lives. Vivi would tell them to test and guess....cause everyone is different...but he just keeps that thought to himself.

Riyo nips Vivi's ears as he walks by. He knows everyone is different but figured some things might similarly satisfy. He's ready to go now that everyone is done talking about the holidays. "let's go then. I have some chocolates I didn't put out yet." He smiled, knowing Vivi would get into them either way. "they have crunchy bits in them but are really good."

Vivi squeaks and flicks his ears a bit at the nipping. "Chocolate?" Vivi just kind of lights up at the idea of chocolate. He has those things he just happens to like....a lot. One of them happens to be chocolate. He gets his kitties together and then is ready to go. "Crunchy bits?"
